MEET A CHEETAH

....the friendliest of the big cats.

Ever dreamed you might be able to handle some of the world's most amazing wildlife?
Cheetahs are the fastest land animal in the world, and in the wild they are found only in Africa.
Canberra's National Zoo & Aquarium offers one of the most amazing animal experiences in Australia - the opportunity to have hands-on contact, pat and play with one of these amazing cats.
During your Meet A Cheetah experience, you will be in the same enclosure
as the cheetahs.
At all times an experienced zookeeper will be with you to answer your questions and guide you as you interact with this incredible animal.

CAN I TAKE PHOTOS?
